I put in (for "I wear warm clothes") "Je porte des habits chauds,". It corrected me with "Je m'habille chaudement". However, I saw in the possible answers there was "Je mets des habits chauds". Is the object ("habits ou vêtements) dependent on the verb ("porter ou mettre)?
Why isn’t “Quelle une bonne idée” an acceptable answer as it is the most literal translation?
In France is “ Maison de retraite “ interchangeable with “Ephad”?
Is there any distinction between a facility where aged people live together and do not need care and a facility where aged people need nursing care?
It might be useful to incorporate the above into a lesson and give the rules for this type of construction, for example explaining the word order in sentences such as:
Je ne le lui ai pas donné hier - I didn't give it to him yesterday
The translation of "In case you've never had to..." in the exercise is "Juste au cas où vous n'auriez jamais eu..." But surely "have had to" in this context is the future perfect of "must", and should be translated in French using the verb "devoir": "Juste au cas où vous n'auriez jamais dû..."?
I came across this recently and had difficulty finding a definitive answer. Examples of usage would be helpful. I read that 'to teach someone' one needs either a noun or pronoun acting as an Indirect object. If you could kindly provide some pointers it would be great.
I am having difficulty in understanding some of the rules around "depuis que". For example, the sentence "Depuis je te l'ai recontré, je me sense mieux" means in English "Since I have met you, I've been in love with you". Please explain why It isn't "Since I met you". Thanks.
